An Investigation into the Rate of Reaction Between HCL and Mg Aim The aim of this investigation is to see how concentration of acid effects the rate of reaction between HCL and Mg. The rate of a reaction is how fast the reactants are used up in the reaction. In this investigation we will test different concentrations of acid reacting with magnesium ribbon. Prediction I predict that as the concentration of HCL increases the amount of gas given off by the reaction will increase. Linking Prediction to Theory An increase in concentration is an increase of particles in a given volume. If we increase the concentration 1) The particles are more crowded so they collide more often. 2) The particles themselves do not increase in energy but, there are more particles in the given volume. 3) Is a major effect which effects the rate but b) is a minor effect which effects the rate only slightly. The collision theory shows...
